About the position
Cadence Design Systems is offering an exciting summer internship opportunity for undergraduate students enrolled in STEM or Electrical/Computer Engineering programs. This internship is part of the World Field Organization (WFO) and provides a chance to work with best-in-class EDA tools, collaborate with technical experts, and support the sales team in a dynamic environment focused on silicon design and design automation. Interns will learn about processes at the forefront of silicon technology and gain insights into how Cadence operates and how technical teams solve problems. The internship will last for three months and will be located in San Jose, CA. Interns will participate in a cohort-based program that includes hands-on training in applications used for Digital Design/Simulation, Physical Design, Mixed-signal and Analog Layout, and Advanced Verification. They will work on a design project using Cadence applications for the design, analysis, and implementation of digital and analog blocks, and will participate in design reviews to share their learnings with their cohort and technical management.
